When you hear the word inflammation, you might immediately think of pain, swelling, or something harmful. But inflammation is actually your body’s natural healing signal.
It’s your body’s way of saying: “Something’s wrong — let’s send in the fighters and restorers to help heal and protect.”
👉 While short-term inflammation is protective, when it continues for longer periods it can become chronic low-grade inflammation. At that point, the body goes into overdrive, overstimulating systems like the brain, gut, joints, muscles, and even major organs.
This can lead to:
· Digestive problems
· Cognitive decline (like dementia and Alzheimer’s)
· Joint pain and stiffness
· Increased risk of injury
· Slower recovery after training or illness
But here’s the good news: you can do something about it.
Through your diet and lifestyle, it’s possible to prevent or even reduce harmful inflammation.
Some practical ways include:
· Movement: Incorporate more low-impact exercise, stretching, and regular rest days.
· Nutrition: Add anti-inflammatory foods such as:
o Leafy greens
o Omega-3s (from fatty fish, chia, flax, walnuts — not omega 6 or 9)
o Colourful fruits like berries
o Garlic, ginger, and turmeric
o Plenty of water and fibre
✨ If you consistently struggle with inflammation or notice some of the symptoms above — or even if you just want to understand your body’s risk — you don’t have to guess. With a DNA Health or DNA Core test, you can get accurate insights into how your body responds to inflammation.
These tests provide a personalised roadmap to help you prevent or improve outcomes, giving you the confidence to take the right steps for your health.
